This was carried yeas, 65; nays, 48

The bill introduced by Mr. Gernez. of
St Louis, providing for the establish
ment of a state board of pharmacy, was
called np in the house yesterday, and
after a long debate was ordered en
grossed by a vote of 75 to 48. The bill
is an important one, and if enacted will
be of vital interest to the druggists of
the state. It provides for the appoint
ment by the governor of a pharmacy
board, to be composed of five persons.
two of whom shiill hold office for one
year and three lor two years, i ne
board is to have power to examine and
Issue certificates to all persons who
desire to engage In the drug business,
and no person who fails to pass a suc
cessful examination is to be permitted
to put np physicians' prescriptions or
sell poisons for medical use. Every
pharmacist must annually re
new his certificate of registration.
and all druggists are to be held re
sponsible for the quality of all drugs
they sell except those disposed ot in
original packages. Section 18 of the
bill provides tbat no druggist shall
sell or give away intoxicating liquors
a less quantity than fonr gallons,
except on written prescription from
some regularly registered physician.
and snch prescription must contain the
name of the person lor whom the in
toxicating liquor is prescribed. Viola
tion of the provisions of this section it
to be punished by revocation ot tne
certificate of registration of tne of
fender and a fine not exceeding SS00.
It Is expected that if the bill becomes
law it will assist materially In driv
ing out of business the host of persons
who conduct alleged drug stores for
the sole purpose of selling whisky with
out paving a saloon license.
The university appropriation bill.
calling for 250,000 out of the revenue
fnnd, was introduced in tbe house yes
terday by Mr. Hawkins, of Dunklin. It
provides the fund so as to use 100,000
this year in putting up buildings, and
(150,000 for the same purpose to be used
in 1834. It is said that the buildings
are badly needed, but it is a matter of
some doubt if the assembly will consent
to make such an appropriation at this
time. Some of the members have open
ly expressed themselves as opposed to
voting as money for rebuilding.
The house committee on appropria
tions last evening introduced four gen
eral appropriation bills for ss many
different objects. The money Is appro
priated as follows:

There is considerable grumbling ovet
the delay of the committee appointed
last December to visit the state insti
tutions and report their conditions and
needa to the legislature. The commit
tee) is composed of Senator Hinea and
Messrs. Fogel and Davison. The latter
member of the committee has been very
alcit since the letnslature convened, and
consequently the work of tbe commit
u has been trreatlT delayed on ac
count thereof. The object of having
such a committee sppointed is to fur
nish the appropriation committees in
narttcnlar and the legislature in gen
eral with official information aa to the
amount of money needed by tbe educa
tional and eleemosynary instiiuuons.
The various spproprlations eouldthen
be made with a fall understanding ot
whet is required. The committees
have not had this information np to
date and will not have it before next
week. This necessitates the holding
back of appropriation bills, which en- J that he bad jest returned to FortEing
dangers the same at this late day. To I gold from detached service in th field.
be valuable snch uformation aa toe
committee is supposed to possess should
have been presented to the assembly at
s much earlier date.
